Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer?


I’m 63. I’m not wealthy but I have a tolerant wife and I still love to pursue great sound. But I find myself increasingly reluctant to spend significant amounts on new gear. I know my hearing acuity is not as good as it used to be, but my love of music and good sound is not diminished. When considering a purchase, I find myself factoring in cost versus life expectancy (mine!) and auditory function. I’ll even have some guilt about spending my kid’s inheritance. Is something wrong with me?

It is all about the music, so stop worrying about what equipment you're missing out on and just buy more music. Concentrate instead on using various tweaks to get you closer to the music you love.

I mentioned redemption once on this forum and got excoriated for it by another member.  Bringing anything about faith into the threads is akin to mentioning SR Orange fuses. :-)

By the way, as an old duffer myself, I'm getting mighty tired of being under house arrest because of the Communist Chinese Virus. How about you guys?

Here's a question:  If Montana had the number of victims of the Communist Chinese Virus as New York City, and if New York City had the number of victims of the Communist Chinese Virus as Montana ... do you think the governor and mayor of New York City would have locked down the entire state?

Okay, now they've applied the final straw. Tyson Foods is closing its largest pork processing plant in Iowa.

Closing the beaches? Ok. Tracking citizens via drones? OK. Government edicts to snitch on each other? Ok. BUT ... mess with our bacon and there's gonna be hell to pay. 

I predict riots in the streets of Rodney King proportions.

A wise man named Jim Rohn once said: "It is good to strive for a disciplined life. Why is that? Because at the end of the road, discipline weighs ounces. Regrets weigh tons."
